I've seen a number of references in Razor documentation talking about 
"confidence levels" assigned to those who report/revoke.  The 
implication seems to be that there is some gold standard whereby a 
message is judged to be spam or not, and if you report according to 
this standard, you will be assigned a higher confidence level.

However, nowhere have I been able to find a definition of what 
constitutes spam according to the Razor maintainers.  How is this 
decided?  Is there *actually* some sort of standard, or is there an 
algorithm to determine spamminess based solely on votes from those 
reporting?

The reason I'm asking is that our system had what *I* would consider 
to be a Razor false positive today--a message which I would consider 
non-spam, but which Razor marked as spam (confidence level 17).

So if I run the message through razor-revoke, what happens?  Are 
there any guidelines for deciding what should or should not be 
reported/revoked, and if so, where are they?

Thanks!
